Funny British TV series besides 'The IT Crowd'?


This show is so funny and brilliant! I thinks it's one of the funniest British TV series I've ever seen.
Hopefully there'll be a season 5!
Do you know anymore funny TV series? (I think "Black Books" is quite funny too, and of course the "Mr. Bean".)

LOVE Peep Show...watched it because of this comment. Kind of fell off after a couple of seasons, but whatev...still better than most things on TV. And it actually makes me feel better about men. I'll take sex-obsessed/stupid over malicious/crafty/scheming any day. :-)

In addition to several already mentioned, I really liked 'Murder Most Horrid', but good luck trying to find it. As far as I know, it's not available on DVD.

Not all of them are quite as funny as The IT Crowd or even have the same type of humor, but those are a lot of the ones I've seen on PBS or Adult Swim and have enjoyed.

(Sorry for the repeats.)

Chris Morris wasn't actually in The Mighty Boosh but the resemblance between him and Julian Barrett is uncanny

I really liked Paris, but I don't think you can find it on DVD, at least in the US. Had a few people from the Young Ones in it.

Eurotrash is funny, yet not in a strictly comedy way.

Oh and no one mentioned Absolutely Fabulous, which I loved. The Kumars at No. 42 was good too. And The League of Gentlemen and that one about the guy who was a superhero...can't remember the name of that one...My Hero, maybe?

Have you seen Absolutely Fabulous recently? I always used to enjoy that, but my brother got the DVD a couple of months ago and my whole family was just sat there thinking "We used to find this funny?"

I would add Coupling and Only Fools and Horses to previous people's lists. There are others I really enjoy but I think the humour would be too British-centric (such as Alan Partridge).
